News

  • Solid numbers to wrap up season

    Dotson caught three of four targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 26-6 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Sam Howell was making his first career start at quarterback and attempted only 19 passes, but Dotson was still able to flash his big-play ability. The 2022 first-round pick completes his first NFL season with 35 catches on 61 targets for 523 yards and seven TDs, and while Dotson took a back seat to Terry McLaurin in 2022, the duo could be on more equal footing in the Washington passing game next year -- whether Howell, or a veteran import, is slinging balls their way.

  • Held to three catches

    Dotson caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Dotson tied TE Logan Thomas for the team lead in targets but lost a three-game TD streak with QB Carson Wentz struggling badly in his return to the starting role. It remains to be seen if Wentz or Taylor Heinicke will start Week 18 against Dallas, with the latter seemingly a better option when it comes to fantasy value for Dotson and Terry McLaurin.

  • Team-high nine targets plus score

    Dotson finished with six receptions on nine targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 37-20 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Dotson kept his hot streak rolling with his third touchdown in as many weeks. The 22-year-old ran a crisp corner route to the back pylon for a short score in the second quarter, showing fantasy managers that he is more than just an outside deep threat. Dotson's targets have ballooned during his recent run of strong play, as he's racked up a team-high 24 targets over Washington's last three games. The Commanders will have to make a decision on who to start between Taylor Heinicke and Carson…read more

  • Coming on strong late in year

    Dotson caught four of six targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Dotson was the unexpected star of Washington's aerial attack Sunday, posting the first 100-yard game of his career under the lights of Sunday Night Football. This standout performance comes on the heels of another strong fantasy line (5/54/1), indicating that the rookie has shaken off the rust after a slow start since returning from injured reserve in Week 10. The 22-year-old is averaging 7.5 targets over his current two-game hot streak. Dotson's improved play of late, combined with his nose…read more

  • Reemerges with late TD

    Dotson caught five of nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-20 tie with the Giants.

    Analysis: Dotson scored the tying TD from 28 yards out with just under two minutes remaining in regulation, his first real highlight since returning from injured reserve Week 10. He was targeted only four times his first three games back despite playing at least 34 snaps in each contest, as Washington's offense focused more on Terry McLaurin and the running backs. McLaurin had an even bigger game this past Sunday, while Dotson showed some of the big-play ability that led him to four TDs over the first…read more

  • Targeted once

    Dotson was targeted once and didn't catch any passes in Sunday's 19-13 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Dotson played more than 60 percent of snaps for a second straight week but has been targeted only four times in three games since missing more than a month with a hamstring injury. The Washington offense has become much more run-oriented since the early part of the season when Dotson scored four TDs in his first four games, and Terry McLaurin has taken on a larger share of the targets ever since Taylor Heinicke took over at quarterback. It's a situation that's left Dotson and Curtis Samuel with…read more

  • Produces another dud Sunday

    Dotson caught one of two targets for 13 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: In Dotson's second game back from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, he was held in check by a Houston secondary missing 2022 third overall pick Derek Stingley (hamstring). After a hot start to begin his NFL career, including four scores in his first four games, Dotson has managed just two receptions for 27 yards over Washington's last two contests with Taylor Heinicke under center. The 22-year-old has a prime opportunity to turn things around in Week 12 against a vulnerable Falcons…read more

  • Limited role in return

    Dotson (hamstring) hauled in his lone target for a 14-yard reception in Monday's 32-21 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: In his return from a five-game absence, Dotson didn't start but still finished third among Commanders receivers in snaps, albeit by a small margin. He was on the field for 34 of the Commanders' 83 offensive snaps (40 percent), trailing both Terry McLaurin (86 percent) and Curtis Samuel (64 percent) and narrowly outpacing Cam Sims (33 percent) for fourth place. Expect Dotson's snap share to pick up as he becomes further removed from the hamstring issue, but the rookie doesn't look like the…read more

  • Puts forth full practice

    Dotson (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After Dotson was a limited participant Thursday in his first recorded practice activity since Oct. 20, he took another step forward by taking every rep Friday. He thus looks on track to play in Monday's game against the Eagles after missing the Commanders' last five games with a hamstring strain and a related setback. Dotson should step back into a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel on Monday, though the rookie first-round selection may not…read more

  • Limited in return to practice

    Dotson (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: This marks Dotson's first appearance at practice since Oct. 20, when he aggravated the hamstring issue that hasn't allowed him to play since Week 4. He now has two more sessions to put himself in a position to suit up Monday at Philadelphia.

  • Out this week, could return Week 10

    Dotson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, but coach Ron Rivera said the team hopes to get the wideout back next week, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dotson hasn't practiced since suffering a setback Oct. 20, and the Commanders will turn to Cam Sims and/or Dyami Brown for at least one more game in the No. 3 receiver role. A return to practice next week wouldn't necessarily equate to playing in the Week 10 matchup with Philadelphia, but it'd be a good place for the rookie to start. He does have an extra day to get ready with the team's next contest set to be played on a Monday.

  • Trending toward another missed game

    Dotson (hamstring) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dotson hasn't practiced in any capacity since he reportedly aggravated his hamstring injury during a limited showing in the Commanders' Oct. 20 session. He missed two games prior to the aggravation and now looks to be trending toward a fifth consecutive absence this Sunday, when the team hosts the Vikings. The Commanders will wait and see what, if anything, Dotson is able to do at Friday's practice before giving him a designation for the Week 9 game.

  • Remains sidelined at practice

    Dotson (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dotson hasn't played since Week 4 due to a lingering hamstring injury, an issue which he reportedly aggravated recently. The Commanders haven't offered a timetable for the rookie first-round receiver's return to the lineup, but he has only two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Vikings.

  • Out again

    Dotson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: With Dotson out another week, it'll be either Cam Sims or Dyami Brown (questionable - groin) getting most of the WR snaps alongside Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel in the three-wide formations that comprise most of Washington's offense. The team might also have TE Logan Thomas (calf) as a receiving option this week, as he's been deemed questionable after missing the past three games.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Coach Ron Rivera said Thursday that he doesn't expect Dotson (hamstring) to be available for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis, Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Dotson hasn't logged any game action since Week 4, and he recently aggravated his hamstring concern, per Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan Washington, so the rookie wide receiver appears to be a few weeks from returning, at least. Still, Dotson's status should be monitored, as he may be ruled out for Week 8 as soon as the release of Friday's injury report. In Dotson's stead, Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel will continue to be Washington's top WR options, with Dyami Brown (groin), Cam Sims and Dax…read more

    Dotson (hamstring) isn't practicing Thursday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post, Dotson recently aggravated the hamstring injury that has sidelined him for the Commanders' previous three games, which explains why he's logged no activity for the team's first two practices of Week 8 after practicing on a limited basis twice Week 7. Jhabvala suggests that Dotson could be in store for another multi-week recovery timeline in light of the setback, so at the very least, fantasy managers shouldn't count on the rookie wideout…read more

  • Inactive against Green Bay

    Dotson (hamstring) is inactive Week 7 against the Packers.

    Analysis: Reports from earlier Sunday morning had suggested Dotson was not in line to suit up, and that will be confirmed with the official inactive report. Dotson will effectively miss his third consecutive week, leaving Cam Sims in line for a boosted role in terms of offensive snaps.

  • Not slated to play Sunday

    Dotson (hamstring) is not in line to be active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Official confirmation of Dotson's Week 7 status will arrive when the Commanders' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but after the wideout aggravated his hamstring injury in practice, he's in line to miss the contest. With Dyami Brown (groin) already ruled out, Cam Sims figures to see added snaps versus Green Bay behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel.

  • Reportedly long-shot to play

    Dotson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, is a long-shot to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Ron Rivera previously said the Commanders will err on the safe side, so this is another sign he may not play. Dotson reportedly aggravated his hamstring injury during Thursday's practice. With backup wideout Dyami Brown (groin) officially ruled out, Cam Sims would be the probable No. 3 receiver if Dotson is declared inactive prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

    Dotson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, with coach Ron Rivera saying the Commanders will err on the safe side, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Dotson is less than 50/50 to play given Rivera's quote Friday on the heels of a reported setback at Thursday's practice. With backup wideout Dyami Brown (groin) officially ruled out, Cam Sims would be the probable No. 3 receiver if Dotson is declared inactive prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

  • Aggravates hamstring Thursday

    Dotson aggravated his hamstring injury during Thursday's practice, and his status now is up in the air for Sunday's contest against the Packers, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

    Analysis: After hauling in a pass from Taylor Heinicke, Dotson left the field with the Commanders' primary trainer and then was spotted on a stationary bike, per John Keim of ESPN.com. Dotson is attempting to put an end to a two-game absence, but that seems to be in danger after Thursday's setback. There's a chance his status gains some clarity Friday, at which point the team may make a ruling on his availability for Week 7.

  • Another limited practice

    Dotson (hamstring) officially was limited at practice Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dotson made an early exit from the second session of Week 7 prep after running a route and was looked at by team trainers. Riding a stationary bike was his only activity thereafter, and he went down as a limited participant for a second consecutive day. The rookie first-round pick is attempting to come back from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but Thursday's event could be a setback in that regard. Dotson's status thus is worth watching as the weekend approaches.

  • Looked at by trainers Thursday

    Dotson (hamstring) was looked at by trainers following one of his routes during Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Afterward, Dotson -- who had been progressing well from a hamstring issue -- was spotted riding a stationary bike on the sideline, per Keim. While the rookie first-round pick is expected to be listed as a limited participant Thursday, his status is worth monitoring closely ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers. What Dotson does Friday at practice likely will be pivotal with regard to his chances of returning to action Week 7.

  • Returns to limited practice

    Dotson (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dyami Brown (quadriceps) caught two touchdown passes while filling in for Dotson in Week 5 but then played just three snaps Week 6 while dealing with the injury. Cam Sims had a much quieter stint in the No. 3 receiver role, a job that eventually will be handed back to Dotson, potentially as soon as this Sunday against the Packers. If so, the rookie will face a tough secondary while catching passes from Taylor Heinicke.

  • Ruled out again

    Dotson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Dotson hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring Week 4, and he said this week that he wants to be patient to avoid aggravating it. Dyami Brown (groin) and Cam Sims split snaps filling in for Dotson in the Week 5 loss to Tennessee, with Brown scoring two touchdowns from 75 and 30 yards out on just four targets and 20 snaps (32 percent). The impressive showing could lead Brown to more playing time this Thursday, but it's not a sure thing.

    Analysis: The Commanders seemed to go through a light practice or walkthrough, but Dotson remained on the side and worked with team trainers, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Dotson hasn't logged any noticeable on-field work since he left a Week 4 loss at Dallas, the result of a hamstring injury that coach Ron Rivera said at the time would keep the rookie first-rounder sidelined one or two games. With just one practice to go this week, Dotson doesn't appear to be in a great spot ahead…read more

    Dotson (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Dotson, who was inactive for Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Titans, now has two more chances to upgrade his activity level ahead of Thursday night's game against the Bears. If he remains out for the contest, added Week 6 WR opportunities would be available for Dyami Brown (groin, limited Monday) and Cam Sims.

    Dotson (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Titans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Dyami Brown replaced Dotson after the rookie injured his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to Dallas. The Commanders could turn to either Brown or Cam Sims this Sunday, and there's a decent chance they'll need a replacement again Week 6 when they face the Bears on Thursday Night Football.

    Dotson (hamstring) isn't taking part in practice Thursday and is instead working out off to the side with a trainer, Pete Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Washington likely won't formally rule on Dotson's status for Sunday's game against the Titans until after Friday's practice, but head coach Ron Rivera already said the rookie wideout could miss "a week or two" due to the hamstring injury he sustained in the Week 4 loss to the Cowboys. Meanwhile, Curtis Samuel (illness) was away from practice for the second day in a row, potentially leaving Washington's receiving corps down two key members this weekend.

    Dotson (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: The Commanders haven't ruled Dotson out for Sunday's game against the Titans, but it isn't a great sign that head coach Ron Rivera said the receiver might miss a week or two. While his 22 targets rank only fourth on the team, Dotson's 12 catches include four touchdowns and two gains of more than 30 yards, giving Carson Wentz a second big-play threat alongside Terry McLaurin. The problem right now for Washington is poor quarterback play and blocking, with the latter partially due to injury…read more

  • Likely to miss time

    Head coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Dotson's hamstring injury "might keep him out a week or two," Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though the 2022 first-round pick hasn't officially been ruled for Week 5 action, he'll be hard-pressed to play Sunday against the Titans based on Rivera's comments. If Dotson does miss time, Dyami Brown, Cam Sims and Dax Milne would be candidates to log added wideout snaps behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel.

  • Suffers hamstring injury Sunday

    Dotson was forced out of Sunday's game at Dallas due to a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: The circumstances surrounding Dotson's departure are unclear, but if he's unable to return, he'll finish Week 4 with three catches (on four targets) for 43 yards and one touchdown. With Dotson on the sideline, the Commanders are down to Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Cam Sims, Dax Milne and Dyami Brown at wide receiver.

  • Shut down by Eagles

    Dotson caught two of eight targets for 10 yards in a 24-8 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: The eight targets were a season high with Carson Wentz topping 40 pass attempts for a third time in three games. After converting 10 targets into 99 yards and three touchdowns in matchups with the Jaguars and Lions in the first two games of his career, Dotson came up empty in Week 3 (and committed his first drop) against a much better Philadelphia defense. He topped 85 percent snap share for a third straight game, and the heavy workload means he should see at least a few looks Week 4 at Dallas.…read more

    Analysis: Dotson continued to show a nose for the end zone after scoring two touchdowns in his NFL debut. He caught a two-point conversion in the third quarter, then scored from one yard out just after the two-minute warning. Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel are more regularly involved when Washington's moving the ball down the field, but Dotson has quickly developed chemistry with quarterback Carson Wentz by the goal line.

  • Scores twice in NFL debut

    Dotson secured three of five targets for 40 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 28-22 win over Jacksonville. He also lost 10 yards on his only rushing attempt.

    Analysis: Dotson's spectacular NFL debut included hauling in the game-winning touchdown pass from Carson Wentz, and it was as promising a start as could be asked of the first-round rookie. Washington's coaching staff doesn't appear to have any qualms about relying on Dotson in key situations, and his big-play ability makes up for concerns about his volume opposite No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin. Dotson is worth real fantasy consideration heading into a Week 2 matchup against Detroit, and he's a priority…read more

  • Not playing in preseason finale

    Dotson will not play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Commanders are opting to rest the top four wide receivers listed on the depth chart, leaving just Dyami Brown and Dax Milne among the crew of wide receivers playing Saturday with a realistic chance at making the final 53-man roster. Dotson is expected to be a featured target in the Commanders' passing attack, particularly with the team's discouraging health issues at tight end.

  • Poised for every-down role

    Dotson is in position for a nearly every-down role to start the season, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic.

    Analysis: The Commanders played their starters for chunks of the first two preseason games, and it was consistently Dotson running alongside Terry McLaurin, with Curtis Samuel then coming on as the third receiver. Offensive coordinator Scott Turner uses three-wide formations a lot however, and may do so even more this year given the state of the team's depth chart at tight end. While new quarterback Carson Wentz comes with his own question marks, Dotson should run plenty of routes (if nothing else) when…read more

  • Two catches Saturday

    Dotson caught both of his targets for 23 yards in Saturday's 24-14 preseason loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Dotson was the recipient of Carson Wentz's first pass of the game, while his second catch came on a Taylor Heinicke pass late in the first half. The rookie first-round pick reportedly has been turning heads in camp, so Dotson seems primed for a prominent role out of the gate as a secondary option for Wentz behind Terry McLaurin.

  • Not targeted in preseason debut

    Dotson played in Saturday's 23-21 preseason loss to the Panthers but did not see a target.

    Analysis: Carson Wentz directed a pass toward Dotson deep down the right side of the field late in the first quarter. However, it wasn't counted as an official target because defensive holding was called on the play. Dotson has reportedly shown strong rapport with Wentz during training camp and drew a start in the Commanders' first preseason game, but he'll have to wait at least another week before showcasing his skills in game action.

  • Praised by fellow WR

    Teammate Terry McLaurin has been impressed with Dotson's hands and believes the rookie first-round pick out of Penn State will be an impact player out of the gate for Washington, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: "When you're a sure-handed guy like he is and has been up until this point, he has a lot of confidence when the ball does get into his vicinity," McLaurin said of Dotson. While McLaurin is the clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver for Washington, Dotson could earn a prominent role right away, as Curtis Samuel is his primary competition for targets behind McLaurin at wide receiver.

  • Establishing chemistry already

    Dotson has been a standout at OTAs and is already establishing trust with quarterback Carson Wentz, Bijan Todd of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Dotson has consistently gotten open and become one of Wentz's favorite targets at OTAs, according to Ethan Cadeaux of NBC Sports. Granted, the Commanders are still only holding non-contact drills, but it's encouraging to see the rookie first-round pick making a solid first impression. Top wideout Terry McLaurin hasn't been participating in offseason activities due to dissatisfaction with his current deal, so Dotson will have plenty of opportunities to continue establishing a rapport with Wentz.
